Summery: After Mulder collapses, he is diagnosed with an incurable wasting disease and given only weeks to live, but what happens when Smoking Man has the cure but what he wants in return is Scully's hand in marriage.

Scully walked through the door of the basement to find Mulder slumped at his desk, holding his head

"Mulder? Are you ok?" Mulder looked up at her, Scully noticed his eyes were red around the edges

"Yeah, just didn't get enough sleep that's all" Scully walked over and placed a hand on his forehead

"You're running a bit of a fever, here I'll get you some water" Scully started to walk for the door

"No it's ok, we're running late for that meeting with Skinner" Mulder said as he got up "Last time we were late, remember?" Scully nodded

"Yes, but I don't think he'll mind if we're a little late, especially if your not well…" She reasoned, Mulder just grabbed his coat and walked out the door

"I'll be right, nothing I can't handle" he said as they rode the elevator up, they exited it, to the get the normal stares from the normal Agents, they walked along the hall towards Skinners office suddenly Mulder started to breath heavy, he held his chest and slowed, he felt something grab his arm

"Mulder?!"

"Scul…Can't… breath" he pulled at his collar gasping for air, then went sideways into the wall

"Call 911!" Scully shouted at the agents around them as they scrambled to help, suddenly he collapsed

"Mulder!" Scully was there in a second, she wrapped her arms around his head and placed her fingers at his neck, she looked into his eyes, hers widened "Call 911!! 911 NOW!" his eyes had gone an awful reddish black colour "Mulder?" he was none responsive "Come on Mulder, don't die on me now!" She clenched her teeth and as she started to perform CPR

"Help me!" out of the corner another agent rushed in, knelt down and started to push on his chest

'Don't you die on me!' she pressed her mouth against his and blew more air in, as the other agent pushed on his chest

'Don't you dare die on me!'

3 days later

Scully looked over Mulders body as it lay limp in the hospital bed, tubes and syringes surrounded him, it was only 3 days since he collapsed at the bureau. Test upon test had been taken but still no answers as to what was wrong, Scully sighed as she squeezed his hand

"Agent Scully?" Scully turned to see Dr Arnold

"Dr Arnold, hi, did you find anything?" by the look of his face, Scully knew it was bad, "what is it?" there was a long silence

"Agent Scully, we've got the last of the blood test back and…" he trailed off

"What? What? Is it?"

"Your partner has a uncommon and incurable wasting disease"

"What?" he handed her the test result, she read through them, a wave of despair filled her "How can this be?"

"we don't know but we have determined that your partner has only 6-8 weeks to live" Scully just started at him "I'm sorry" Scully's held back tears

"I don't believe you" she said quietly, not wanting to believe

"Whether you believe it or not, I suggest you say your goodbyes because Mr Mulders health is slowly going to deteriorate in the weeks to come, I'm terribly sorry" Scully bit her lower lip as the doctor left, she turned and looked down at Mulder, she reached out and took his hand, she sat at his side

"Mulder?" she reached up and stroked his hair, his chest slowly rising and falling with every breath "Mulder, please wake up" she laid her head on the bed next to him, she rubbed his hand "I'm not going to let you die, you hear me" she whispered through clenched teeth "you don't get out of it that easily" she wiped away a tear as she listened to his breathing. It was several hours later when Scully got up and went outside for some air, she looked at her watch, it was a little past midnight, she stood and breathed the cold night air in as she looked around the empty car lot

"Agent Scully" Scully jumped at the sound of the familiar voice

"What do you want?" She turned and came face to face with 'Smoking Man'

"I have come to help you" he stepped towards her, but she backed away

"Help me with what? Mulder is dieing and unless you have a cure, you can't help me" She wrapped her coat around herself tightly and looked around the lot, Smoking man let out a puff of smoke and smiled

"But you see Agent Scully, I do have the cure for Mulders incurable disease" Scully stared at him

"You do? Where? Show me!" Smoking man dropped is smoke and pulled out a small glass tube

"This is one of many injections that Agent Mulder will need to stay alive" Scully reached out for it but he pulled it back under his coat, out of sight

"Give it to me!" She demanded

"I will give it to you, but it comes at a cost" Scully looked in his eyes

"Name it" Smoking man lite up another smoke, and puffed on it twice

"Quit the FBI and marry me"
